Your the man Skeezix :D Some very good things will come of this...
I hope so :)

So far theres not been a lot of action, but one of our great friends is working on a Chips Challenge clone, and another is working on a good old run-and-shoot. I'm worried that even with somethign like Zot, people are afraid (or too lazy, understandably in this busy life) to get into it.. they want a compete game, where they can scribble on the art, or fiddle with the rules, and call it a mod.. but hopefully with somethign easy as Zot, people will be interested and jump in. I've just not seen much yet.

But hopefully once the handheld side comes out, people will get all goofy excited over it...

Umm... is there a developer forum for this already?
I'd like to try it out as soon as I have the time :)
 
hey sheezix... do you think that a GTA clone would be possible with this?

i have been kicking the idea around in my head of how i would make one "work" on gp32...i have some good ideas...but if this would take away the effort and learning curve of C then sign me uo ;) i'm already good with basic...

Grand Theft Auto? (first instinct, "you're shittin' me!")

You'd have to define it .. you coudl draw buildings, put them down, and have a car drive around, sure. I never played GTA1 and only saw GTA2 for 10 mins once, so I don't recall..

Zot is by no means "complete" -- ie: You can put tiles (static or basic animated ones) down, and put sprites on top of them (with transparency effects and such), and the player can move with either velocity or gravirty or free movement.. so you can do a lot.. but you'd have to define what you wanted to do for me to give more anser; chances are I'd have to do some work to add in some stuff yuou needed, but you coudl give it a start. (ie: I don't add things no one needs or isn't using.. I've no time to be thrown away uselessly :)

ummmm...hmmm...maybe i should just play around with zot for a while and figure it out myself..BUT, basically a game where you could buy weapons, kill people (all people ;) ) steal stuff...a crime game...

and the 3d SHOULDN'T be a prob...just do the ground (streets, sidewalks, etc...) as the bottone layer, then have the sprites (cars, people, items, explosions, etc) as the layer above that, then have the tops of buildings be above that layer...and if you went into a building its roof would dissapear, and show you inside walking around and such...

its just a thought..an ieda..me thinking outloud...

PS: Sheezix, i think that they made gta 1 for pc free...but it is a hefty dl i hear..300mb sumthin..if you wanted to see what i was talking about then that would prolly be your best bet...
